It is the longest day of the year, why not point you towards a few mixtapes I came across today.
Music For Ants have compiled their 2nd summer mix, this one features a ton of amazing bands (too many to name). Head to their site to try out the tracks individually, or best served via zip download.

Bedwetting Cosmonaut have posted their June 2011 mix, a combination of new stuff or unearthed forgotten favorites. Download it here.
During the course of all the parties, meetings, showcases and debauchery of last weeks’ NXNE conference, I managed to meet up with some bloggers (both from in and out of town). A few people I met at the Kelp Records BBQ on Friday afternoon were the rad guys at Tympanogram; a Rochester, NY based blog I’d started following a couple months ago. Their posts always get a listen from me because most of the time, its a quality new artist I haven’t heard. Trusting their ears, I’m happy to report that they’ve decided to take a step into the limited-release vinyl label end of this, launching Tympanogram Records with their first signing Joywave.
The first release from fellow Rochesterians Joywave is a 7” single (limited to 500 copies) on white vinyl. The A-side is a track called “Ridge”, which will be sure to make a few summer mixtapes. The AA-side is an original that was on the bands’ wildly successful 77777 mixtape – “Traveling at the Speed of Light.” Look for this release probably by the end of July, in the meantime pre-order.
Check out “Ridge” and “Traveling At The Speed Of Light“.
Congrats guys!
I planned on posting this right away, when I received the press release last week, but that pesky music festival we have here in Toronto (NXNE) jumped out on my and took over my schedule. That would explain by current situation; a sore throat, a pile of e-mail and a blog that hasn’t been updated since saturday (with the exception of the post before this one).
Here’s a track from Peter Wolf Crier‘s second album Garden of Arms, an album that will be released September 6 on Jagjaguwar (September 5 in the UK). Following the success of the bands’ debut Inter-Be, this record paints a picture of all the pain and beauty of growth. The album was recorded by Peter Pisano and Brian Moen in Moen’s own home studio and reflects a new-found footing of confidence and experimentation. Solid stuff, here’s the first taste.
Check out “Right Away“.
